Ettore Messina is expected to become head coach of Italy’s National Team after OQT in Belgrade and Olympics (if Italy qualifies).<\/p>\n
Meo Sacchetti, the actual head coach of Italbasket, will leave his role after the tournament in Belgrade scheduled for June and after Tokyo if Italy makes it.<\/p>\n
Messina would be at his third stint as head coach of Italbasket. He recently coached Italy’s NT at OQT in Turin in 2016 and at Eurobasket 2017 reaching the quarterfinals.<\/p>\n
Messina is also the head coach of Olimpia Milano since the summer of 2019.<\/p>\n
Recently FIP changed the staff of coach of Sacchetti hiring Riccardo Fois, Paolo Galbiati and Piero Bucchi as assistants.<\/p>\n
If Messina declines the proposal of Italian Basketball Federation, Walter De Raffaele of Reyer Venezia will be the head coach.<\/p>\n
The idea of FIP is to have a new coach for Eurobasket 2022 when Italy will host one group in Milano.<\/p>\n
